Great multi-purpose hoops shoe

With 4E feet, it's very hard for me to find a good pair of hoops shoes. Thank goodness for New Balance. Out of the box, the tongues felt too stiff, digging into me a bit too much when I bent my ankles to jump test them. I was really tempted to return them. Boy, am I glad I didn't. After wearing them around the house for a day, not only did the tongues loosen up, but I've never been happier with a hoops shoe before. Not only are they built very well, with great support in all the right places, but the all-black, lightly polished exterior can easily do double-duty as casual dress footwear. The true test was on the basketball court, and this is where they really shine (pun intended.) I'm going to get a second pair. This is a very classy, good-looking shoe, but an even better performing one.
Wears this shoe: Playing hoops, and also goes well with jeans and khakis.
